The Zippo Our Century leaflet is an original factory-issued collector document created for the Our Century commemorative Zippo, the last Zippo collectible of the 20th century. The leaflet celebrates the turn of the century and explains the significance of the collectible, including its new satin finish and multi-level, three-dimensional pewter emblem featuring the year 1932, Zippo’s founding year. It states that the Our Century collectible was limited to 150,000 sets worldwide, with each set accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and backed by Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee. The leaflet also highlights Zippo’s history, worldwide reach and commitment to its repair service, while presenting the collectible as a tribute to the achievements and events of the 20th century. Dated 8/99, this original Zippo ephemera is a valuable reference for collectors researching the Our Century Millennium Edition, Zippo Collectibles of the Year, the history of Zippo and the company’s transition into the new millennium.
